Mission Goes Gold

The Mission Police Department commemorated September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with a special ceremony and walk to honor young victims and survivors on Wednesday, September 1, 2021.

“September is a month when we honor children with cancer, children who have survived cancer and the children who have lost their battle,” Mission Police Chief Robert Dominguez said. “We asked our community to join us, wearing their gold attire so we can all work together to ensure that childhood cancer is never forgotten. It was a heartwarming event that touched so many families.”

Mission PD joined forces with the Greater Gold Foundation to organize the event. The walk was followed by a special candlelight ceremony to honor the brave young victims and their families.
